In November 2002 I received a Meade LXD55 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain with UHTC through Oceanside Photo and Telescope. I then started this web site to provide support for LXD users as I do for ETX users on my ETX Site.

In January 2008 I placed an order for a new LXD75-8"SC to replace a stolen one. After waiting for over two months I finally gave up and switched my order to a 8" LX90-ACF (Advanced Coma Free) telescope. As a result I decided to stop updating my LXD55/75 Site as of the end of May 2008. Also, I am no longer providing email support for specific LXD55/75 questions. See the Site Announcement page for more information. Check out my ETX Site as there is a lot of general information there applicable to the LXD telescopes. I also recommend that LXD55/75 users sign up for the LXD55/75 Telescopes Yahoo Group. This LXD Site will remain available as an online reference.
